In its 7th year, the biggest street party in East Africa will not take place. The Kampala City Festival (KCF) 2018 has been canceled, just a few days to its seventh edition.

The KCF is a signature brand that draws multitudes to Kampala every October to celebrate culture, unity and social life. The highly anticipated festival gathers revelers to share, learn, and network on different grounds.

Happening every first week of October, the festival involves different activities with art exhibitions, music performances, open street sales, and other lively scenes dominate the widely embraced festival.

All that will not be happening this year however after KCCA called it off.

The KCCA Executive Director Mrs. Jennifer Musisi said that they would channel the money into other things like removing asbestos and building a maternity ward at Kira Health Center.
